How To Keep Going When The Doors Keep Closing

Have you ever been in a season where nothing seems to go your way? You get excited for this opportunity or that possibility, but then things don’t work out how you wanted them to. One door closes, and then another, and then another. You keep trying to make something happen, but with no luck. And eventually you get to the point where you’re afraid to walk up to another door because you don’t want to be disappointed if it closes too.

I get it. Shattered dreams, unfulfilled expectations, failures, they’re all disheartening. And when they come in multitudes, it’s that much more difficult to keep going. I don’t know about you, but I can only get knocked down so many times before I’m ready to just sit on the ground for a little while.

There Is Beauty In Your Uniqueness

Does anyone else find it hard to believe that we are almost a third of the way through 2018? Time just seems to be flying. Summer is just around the corner and I can’t wait. That may be due to the fact that here in Georgia we aren’t really experiencing spring, but more of a never-ending peek-a-boo winter that makes it impossible to pick out an outfit in the morning. (If you live in the south, you know exactly what I’m talking about.) But I digress.

As I think back over the first third of the year and its highs and lows, one of the things that comes to mind was my New Year’s Resolution. And by that I mean, I can’t even remember what it was. (#NewYearSameMe) Meanwhile, as I was trying to ignore my lack of ability to stick with my New Year’s goals, one of my friends and her resolution last year came to mind, and I really wanted to share it with you.
